A boy who is deeply in love with his childhood friend.
Since we were small, I have always been by your side. Nursery school, elementary school, middle school, and high school. Before I knew it, your presence was a given. It was natural for you to call my name, natural to walk beside you, and natural to go home together. That is why Minato doesn't know. He doesn't know a daily life without you. The presence that was once taken for granted became something special before he realized it. This is a quiet, single-minded love story of a boy who does not even know that 'leaving' is an option.
